sealed and ported?
If you notice an "SQ difference" between sealed and ported, you did something wrong with the ported box... The box I had my 10 type R was ported and made solely to to get "loud" and had no SQ at all. That being said I do know that you can build a ported box for SQ. Most people I know with a sealed box either built it because they were shooting for SQ or they just bought a prefab box for the sub and the sealed box happened to be cheaper.

Got my two 18" Q's!

sealed and ported?
why not just get one 15 and call it a day? 1 15 in a sealed box and run it at 1ohm off that amp or you could do a ported 12. We really need to know what your goals are. Since you have a type r i would assume SPL. Seeing as it is sealed then maybe you like SQ? Let us know and we can give you better recommendations

lethal injection sub
What do you mean by the Buy? the seller? If you want an IA sub to handle 1000RMS then why not get the Death Row? And it depends on what voice coil option the sub is. The sub may be able to handle 1000rms, but it is only rated at 600rms so if you want to run it at 1000 that is up to you. Like I said why not just get a Death Row?

Welcome to the IHoP
the gf got 20 % tint on top of her 35% tint all the way around and did 35% on the fwhole windshield. What she didn't tell me was that she had the shop throw in a 10" Memphis street edge and a memphis se2.50. Allllll last night she kept rubbing it in my face that she has a "thumper" and I don't. She keeps doing this evil laugh, it's kind of freaking me out

Pictures of your new equipment
Nice. I contemplated getting a flip out, still wish I did.......

suggestion
2500 Rms is recommended for the Warden. I cannot suggest a sub woofer as I have not heard mmats.

new set-up over q's...suggestions
From Icon to Xcon - SSA Car Audio Forum He was using the same amp, just switched the Icon out for the Xcon. Hope this helps

new set-up over q's...suggestions
Try porting the Q's first. I to once thought that because you went ported meant you lost most SQ. Not true, you can gain output and still retain a good amount of SQ If that does not work or if you are set on new subs, have you looked into the Xcon's?? I have not personally experienced them, but they are made for output and SQ. Read review's on them, they may be what you are looking for.

1972 Honda CB 350
Some pics of the Honda my girl friend and I did this past Summer. Nothing special really, was our first time doing anything like this. Cleaned and synced carbs new points and condenser custom side cover I fabricated mounted turn signals to headlight creamed and painted the tank our selves. sanded and cleaned the motor. clubman handle bars. some other small things We were going to turn it into a nice cafe this winter, but moved and decided to get rid of the bike. It was a fun little project to work on together. Surprisingly she actually liked working on it (much more than car audio) and now she wants to get her own bike... the day I bought it. the guy had it all painted in primer black. Terrible job cut a vinyl "stencil" on our plotter. Turned out well me painting. My second time painting somthing other than 1 inch square aluminum pieces. The way I mixed the paint gave it a "rough tough" look (words from a friend). The paint was Matthews Satin finish picture quality is not that great. It turned out really well. before cleaning motor and clubmans getting there! about as far as I got before I sold it this is as far as we got before we decided to sell it. Not to bad for our first "run".

Which Sub??
I am not big on buying a subwoofer because of how it looks, but the DP is on of my favorite looking subs on the market! Love the black chrome not to mention the bad arse logo. If I wanted to get a subwoofer to show off , the DP would be the one. Ha I know that in no way helps you, just wanted to express my feelings on the DP. Good luck searching. Make sure you take your time and do your home work
-
Which Sub??
So are you wanting SQ or SPL? What voice coil option? Any reason you are stuck on these two subs? I would personally go with the DP out of the 2. Either will work as long as you are careful. And out of curiosity what happened with the Fi Q 15? Last I read you were going to get the Fi and run it off that same amp.

Your first system...
soundSTORM 1000w amp, audiobahn flame q 12, and some blaupunkt 6.5's in my 95 maxima. Later added a 12 type r beside the flame q. Q was inverted and type r was normal both in separate prefab junk boxes. Ha I thought I was the shit until my friends parents took them to local shops and they all got w7's / tdx's and the likes. On yeah I had one of lthose Sony stealth head unit's. It was all black and would flip down to show the buttons. Pretty sleek and stealthy although it would stick out an inch and a half from the dash in stealth mode. Ha reminds me of chris farley in Beverly hills ninja

layaway or payments?
I will buy what ever you need and keep it until you pay me with 25 percent interest seriously though, you need to learn how to save and budget your money. Like they said, don't use a credit card for something you don't need! If you can handle having one just to build your credit, then I would advise doing that. But if you know your going buy a bunch of crap you cant pay for DO NOT DO IT!!!!

best bang for $200 or lower
any 15 will move more than "some air". Any of the 15s would sound nice playing some "jeezy" and do what you described. Also if you heart sundown then why not get the sundown. If I hearted something but purchased something else bc it was 100 dollars cheaper or because some one else recommended it I would personally not be satisfied. I would always be thinking about what my heart was set on, and why the heck I didn't get that.... That is just me though. I have never heard the Z-15, but I would take it over the type R any day. again that is just me
-
best bang for $200 or lower
i believe it was a 15 he bought for $200. That is why I recommended the Z-15
-
best bang for $200 or lower
glad I spent time copying and pasting the link when you decided to not even consider it..... JK hope you enjoy your new sub!!!!1

best bang for $200 or lower
Sundown Z15 D2 and D4 Close-Out Special - SSA Car Audio Forum BAM I would say best bang for your buck would be the deal that sundown has going on for the Z15. Will be louder than an 8

Welcome to the IHoP
I had a dream that I blacked out at the super bowl and when I woke up the next morning I saw that the colts had lost the super bowl and they blamed it on ME! Every body was out to kill me The crazy part was that once the meter maid successfully killed me I went straight to dreaming about a crazy box for 3 SA-10's. I am going to put my amateur CAD skills to work and see if I can re create that craziness box. oatmeal FTL

fi q 15'' vs kicker cvx 15''
Just because they have the same RMS doesn't mean they both will be the same as far as output. If you want loud with some SQ go with a BL. Also check out the Xcon, I have heard good things about those.

Welcome to the IHoP
my dad is having guys graffiti his commercial building... He is so random. Not the guy you would expect to do that. Apparently he is putting the company name on the side facing the main street and the guys get to do what ever they want on the back side. Should be pretty cool, I'll post pics when ever they do it.

Coyote Hit by Car at 75mph and Survives ~ Now That's Nifty A friend sent me that story. How is this possible?? It has to be fake. Who hits a 30lb+ animal going 75mph and does not stop to see the damage or what they hit??????

BL or SSD
The BL's would do more "damage" on the meter. If you buy them let me know how much you want for (1) Q...........
